1. A method for suggesting new content to an author, the method comprising: obtaining first content of a document that is being written by the author in a first user interface presented on a screen of a user device of the author, wherein the first user interface comprises a button presented with a first visual characteristic indicating that new content related to the first content of the document is not available for viewing by the author; while the document is being written in the first user interface; performing write-learn operations as applicable to the first content of the document; responsive to the write-learn operations identifying the new content related to the first content of the document, causing the button in the first user interface to be presented with a second visual characteristic indicating that the new content related to the first content of the document is available for viewing by the author, wherein the write-learn operations comprise: (i) determining a topic of the first content of the document; (ii) identifying one or more predictive topics to recommend to the author to write about next, wherein the one or more predictive topics are related to the determined topic, are different from the determined topic and predict what the author is interested in writing about next; and (iii) performing a content search based on the determined topic and the one or more predictive topics to obtain results of the content search with higher rankings, wherein each ranking is based on a number of text similarities between content portions in the document and content portions in a respective result of the content search, and wherein the results comprise research papers related to the determined topic, and a plurality of images related to the determined topic; and providing the new content including the results of the content search for presentation in a second user interface on the screen of the user device of the author, the second user interface concurrently presenting (i) a first area comprising the one or more predictive topics that the author is recommended to write about next, (ii) a second area comprising the plurality of images related to the determined topic; and (iii) a third area comprising links to research papers related to the determined topic; wherein upon a user input selecting one of the predictive topics in the first area of the second user interface, a content search associated with the selected topic is triggered to obtain second content to be recommended to the author for addition to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface; wherein upon a user input selecting one of the plurality images in the second area of the second user interface, the selected image is added to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface; and wherein upon a user input selecting one of the links in the third area of the second user interface, at least a portion of a respective research paper is presented to the author for addition to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more predictive topics are not present within the obtained content of the document.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content search includes a search for websites, images, links, and cloud content.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: aggregating results from the content search, wherein the aggregated results are included in the second user interface presented to the author.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content search is performed within a private network based on an access level associated with the author to documents on the private network.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content search is performed within a public network or a public cloud.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: generating analytical data items based on results from the content search.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predictive topics are determined based on terms that frequently appear with the topic.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content search includes searches based on a first language that the topic is frequently searched in, and translation of search results in the first language to a second language that the document is written in.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing suggested search terms related to the topic and the one or more predictive topics within a web search engine instantiated at a browser window.

11

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content portions in the document are one or more of words or phrases.

12

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein each ranking is also based on a number of matches between entities in the document and entities in a respective result of the content search.

13

13. A system for suggesting new content to an author, the system comprising: a memory and a hardware processor, coupled to the memory, to: obtain first content of a document that is being written by the author in a first user interface presented on a screen of a user device of the author, wherein the first user interface comprises a button presented with a first visual characteristic indicating that new content related to the first content of the document is not available for viewing by the author; while the document is being written in the first user interface: perform write-learn operations as applicable to the first content of the document; responsive to the write-learn operations identifying the new content related to the first content of the document, cause the button in the first user interface to be presented with a second visual characteristic indicating that the new content related to the first content of the document is available for viewing by the author, wherein to perform the write-learn operations, the processor is to: (iv) determine a topic of the first content of the document; (v) identify one or more predictive topics to recommend to the author to write about next, wherein the one or more predictive topics are related to the determined topic, are different from the determined topic and predict what the author is interested in writing about next; and (vi) perform a content search based on the determined topic and the one or more predictive topics to obtain results of the content search with higher rankings, wherein each ranking is based on a number of text similarities between content portions in the document and content portions in a respective result of the content search, and wherein the results comprise research papers related to the determined topic, and a plurality of images related to the determined topic; and provide the new content including the results of the content search for presentation in a second user interface on the screen of the user device of the author, the second user interface concurrently presenting (i) a first area comprising the one or more predictive topics that the author is recommended to write about next, (ii) a second area comprising the plurality of images related to the determined topic; and (iii) a third area comprising links to research papers related to the determined topic; wherein upon a user input selecting one of the predictive topics in the first area of the second user interface, a content search associated with the selected topic is triggered to obtain second content to be recommended to the author for addition to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface; wherein upon a user input selecting one of the plurality images in the second area of the second user interface, the selected image is added to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface; and wherein upon a user input selecting one of the links in the third area of the second user interface, at least a portion of a respective research paper is presented to the author for addition to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface.

14

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more predictive topics are not present within the obtained content of the document.

15

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the content search includes a search for websites, images, links, and cloud content.

16

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to: aggregate results from the content search, wherein the aggregated results are included in the second user interface presented to the author.

17

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the content search is performed within any of a private network, a public network or a public cloud, based on an access level associated with the author to documents on the private network.

18

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to: generate analytical data items based on results from the content search.

19

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the predictive topics are determined based on terms that frequently appear with the topic.

20

20. The system of claim 13 , wherein the content search includes searches based on a first language that the topic is frequently searched in, and translation of search results in the first language to a second language that the document is written in.

21

21. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to: provide suggested search terms related to the topic and the one or more predictive topics within a web search engine instantiated at a browser window.

22

22. A processor-readable non-transitory storage medium storing processor-executable instructions for suggesting new content to an author, the processor-executable instructions being executed by a processor to: obtain content of a document that is being written by the author in a first user interface presented on a screen of a user device of the author, wherein the first user interface comprises a button presented with a first visual characteristic indicating that new content related to the first content of the document is not available for viewing by the author; while the document is being written in the first user interface; perform write-learn operations as applicable to the first content of the document; responsive to the write-learn operations identifying the new content related to the first content of the document, cause the button in the first user interface to be presented with a second visual characteristic indicating that the new content related to the first content of the document is available for viewing by the author, wherein to perform the write-learn operations, the processor is to: (vii) determine a topic of the first content of the document; (viii) identify one or more predictive topics to recommend to the author to write about next, wherein the one or more predictive topics are related to the determined topic, are different from the determined topic and predict what the author is interested in writing about next; and (ix) perform a content search based on the determined topic and the one or more predictive topics to obtain results of the content search with higher rankings, wherein each ranking is based on a number of text similarities between content portions in the document and content portions in a respective result of the content search, and wherein the results comprise research papers related to the determined topic, and a plurality of images related to the determined topic; and provide the new content including the results of the content search for presentation in a second user interface on the screen of the user device of the author, the second user interface concurrently presenting (i) a first area comprising the one or more predictive topics that the author is recommended to write about next, (ii) a second area comprising the plurality of images related to the determined topic; and (iii) a third area comprising links to research papers related to the determined topic; wherein upon a user input selecting one of the predictive topics in the first area of the second user interface, a content search associated with the selected topic is triggered to obtain second content to be recommended to the author for addition to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface; wherein upon a user input selecting one of the plurality images in the second area of the second user interface, the selected image is added to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface; and wherein upon a user input selecting one of the links in the third area of the second user interface, at least a portion of a respective research paper is presented to the author for addition to the first content of the document being written in the first user interface.
